[答案]
人生有太多的偶然,在每一次偶然中,我们一定会发现一些有价值的东西。本文作者在一次演出之前突然发烧,嗓子坏了。紧急关头,他的朋友,一直帮助他为演出作准备的Kevin代他完成了这项演出任务,作者非常庆幸能有这样一位好朋友。
1.A。依据上文的“when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play”中的role可知,该处用part表“角色”,即:老师觉得我可以把握好这个角色。
2.C。由文章首句及下文Kevin帮我准备这一角色的时候,He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips可知,他对这部话剧也很感兴趣,可以知道C项“兴奋地”合理。
3.B。choose sb. for/as...表“选某人为……”,为固定表达。
4.C。依据下文的“because I had a lot of lines to memorize”可知,作者要记很多的台词,理应会觉得紧张,而并非沮丧、烦恼或困惑。
5.A。count on“指望,依赖”;tend to“易于;倾向于……”;talk with“与某人谈话”;agree with“同意某人说的话”。依据文章的语境可知,作者是信赖这个朋友的。
6.D。依据该段话的意思可知,作者跟他的朋友Kevin组成了一个小组,make“组成,构成”。很明显,文章没有说加入别的组或创立一个小组。
7.A。由上文的“working hard with the set crew”可知,朋友除了忙剧组的工作外,还花大量的时间帮我记台词。可知朋友是在做两件事情,故选A项。
8.D。由文章第一段可知,老师让我演该角色,所以让朋友演我的角色只能是玩笑话。故D项合理。
9.C。依据下文“everything was ready for the performance”可知,一切都准备好了,就等待开演。很明显是在距开演还有三天时间发生的事情。
10.A。考查介词的搭配。表“患……病”之意时,须用介词with。故答案为A。
11.C。come to a stop表“停止;终止”之意。而come to an end则表示“结束”之意,常表某事情发生了之后,要结束。由文章叙述可知,因为作者发烧嗓子坏了,当然整场戏看起来是演不成了,当然是“终止,停止”之意。
12.A。后文的“there was no way I could perform”与前文大家都很着急之间是因果关系,for在这里引导原因状语从句,表显而易见的原因。
13.D。该句意为:这场戏离预定的开演时间不到6个小时了,无法取消了。be due to表按照预先安排做某事之意。
14.B。该语境中作者是要想个好办法来挽救这件事情,故用help表“挽救”之意,其他选项均没有该意思。
15.B。由第四段第三句可知,Kevin对台词很熟悉。
16.D。上文作者在想办法解决这个问题,现在想到了这个主意,当然是向老师提出这个建议。A表“介绍”;B表“指导”;C表“解释”,都不合理。
17.C。依据文章第四段可以得知Kevin跟作者一起练习了很多遍台词。
18.B。很明显,这一天的演出很成功,而上文提及如果作者不能演这场戏,又找不到解决的办法,那这场戏就会砸锅的,现在Kevin演得很好,自然是挽救了剧组所有的人。
19.D。依上文叙述可知,作者因病没有出演自己的角色,当然是“错过了”,其他选项都不符合语境。
20.B。尽管自己因为患病错过了演出机会,但有这样一位好朋友代替自己演得如此之好,当然应该庆幸、感激。
15.C
14.D。lay off“解雇,使下岗”,符合题意。
13.B。sinking into the chair beside him为动词-ing形式作状语。sink此处之意为“慢慢坐下”。
12.A。as if telling us the history of...“好像在向我们讲述……的历史”。as if telling在此相当于as if it was telling。当从句主语和主句主语一致,且从句谓语中又包含动词be时,从句主语及其谓语动词be可以省略。
11.B。fix one’s eyes on“注视”。此处用的是它的被动语态。
10.B。at length“详细地”,在句中作状语,插在talked about中间;interest in...“对……的兴趣”。
